Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a connector.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Conventionally, there is a known connector including: a housing; cavities, as terminal chambers for accommodating terminals, formed along the longitudinal direction of the housing; and a retainer chambers, as spacer insertion holes, which are formed along the height direction of the housing to communicate with the cavities through communication holes and into which retainers as spacers for engagement with terminals are inserted (see Patent Literature 1 (US 2002/0193012A1)).
- In the connector of
Patent Literature 1, a lance is arranged in each of the cavities to engage with each of the terminals. In this way, since each of the terminals is doubly engaged in each of the cavities by the lance and the retainer, the connector is adapted so as to prevent each of the terminals from dropping out of the cavity certainly. - In the connector of
Patent Literature 1, the spacer for engagement with the terminal is inserted into the spacer insertion hole and then maintained in a temporary engagement position before the terminal is inserted into the terminal chamber. In this temporary engagement position of the spacer, the communication hole communicating the terminal chamber with the spacer may form a depression on the underside of the terminal chamber. - However, if the depression is produced in the terminal chamber by the communication hole, there is a possibility that when the terminal is inserted into the terminal chamber obliquely, the terminal collides with a downstream-side edge of the communication hole in the inserting direction of the terminal, causing the terminal or the communication hole to be damaged.
- Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a connector which can prevent the terminal from colliding with an edge of the communication hole opened to the terminal chamber.
- A connector according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a housing; a plurality of terminal chambers formed in the housing along a longitudinal direction thereof to accommodate terminals therein; a spacer insertion hole formed in the housing along a height direction thereof perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to communicate with the terminal chambers through communication holes and allow an insertion of a spacer for engaging with the terminals, each of the communication holes formed so as to communicate each of the terminal chambers with an outside of the housing, and forming a depression on an underside of each terminal chamber; and a guide protrusion formed about an upstream-side edge of each of the communication holes in an inserting direction of the terminal to lead a front end of the terminal inserted into the terminal chamber toward an upside of a downstream-side edge of each communication hole in the inserting direction.
- With the constitution mentioned above, namely, owing to the provision of the guide protrusion, even if the terminal is inserted into the terminal chamber obliquely, the so-inserted terminal could be led toward the upside of the downstream-side edge opposed to the upstream-side edge through the communication hole.
- Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the terminal from colliding with an edge of the communication hole in inserting the terminal into the terminal chamber.
- The guide protrusion may be provided, on an upstream side thereof in the inserting direction of the terminal, with an inclined surface having a rising gradient.
- With the above constitution, it is possible to lead the front end of the inserted terminal toward a summit of the guide protrusion, allowing the terminal to be led toward the upside of the downstream-side edge stably and smoothly.
- With the above constitution, it is possible to reduce the possibility of a collision of the terminal with the downstream-side edge of the communication hole certainly.
-
FIG. 1 is a front view of a connector according to one embodiment. -
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along a line X-X ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a front view of a spacer of the connector according to the embodiment. -
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of an essential part of the connector according to the embodiment. - A connector according to one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to
FIGS. 1 to 4 . - The
connector 1 according to the embodiment includes ahousing 3, and a plurality ofterminal chambers 7 and aspacer insertion hole 13 both of which are formed in thehousing 3. Theterminal chambers 7 are formed along a longitudinal direction of thehousing 3 to accommodateterminals 5. Thespacer insertion hole 13 is formed along a height direction of thehousing 3 to allow aspacer 11 to be inserted into thespacer insertion hole 13. Thespacer 11 is formed to be engageable with theterminals 5 when thespacer 11 is inserted into thespacer insertion hole 13. Thespacer insertion hole 13 is formed to communicate with theterminal chambers 7 throughcommunication holes 9. An Upper side of thecommunication hole 9 is formed so as to communicate an upper side, of theterminal chamber 7 with a lower side of theterminal chamber 7. While, a lower side of thecommunication hole 9 is formed so as to communicate the lower side of theterminal chamber 7 with an outside of theconnector 1. - On an upstream side of the
communication hole 9 in an inserting direction of theterminal 5 into theterminal chamber 7, aguide protrusion 15 is formed to guide theterminal 5, which is being inserted into theterminal chamber 7, obliquely upward in the inserting direction of theterminal 5. - The
guide protrusion 15 is provided with aninclined surface 17, as an ascending slope, on an upstream side of theprotrusion 15. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 1 to 4 , thehousing 3 is made from insulating material, such as synthetic resin, and provided in the form of a rectangular solid. Thehousing 3 is formed with theterminal chambers 7 along the longitudinal direction of thehousing 3. - The
terminal chambers 7 includes a plurality of large-sized chambers and a plurality of small-sized chambers. The large-sized chambers are stacked in double stages in the height direction of thehousing 3. The large-sized chambers are arranged in rows in a width direction of thehousing 3. Similarly, the small-sized chambers are also stacked in double stages in the height direction of thehousing 3. The small-sized chambers are arranged in rows in the width direction of thehousing 3 as well. Theterminal chambers 7 are opened on respective one sides in the longitudinal direction of thehousing 3, providing respective openings through which theterminals 5 are to be inserted into thechambers 7. - The
terminal 5 is made from conductive material, such as metal, and provided in the form of a female terminal having a box-shaped connecting portion. In assembling, theterminal 5 is inserted in theterminal chamber 7 through the opening and then engaged in thechamber 7 since anengagement arm 19 flexible in theterminal chamber 7 is engaged with afirst engagement portion 21 formed in theterminal 5, and thespacer 11 inserted into thespacer insertion hole 13 is engaged with asecond engagement portion 23 formed in theterminal 5 as well. In this way, theterminal 5 inserted into theterminal chamber 7 is doubly-engaged by thehousing 3 and thespacer 11. - The
spacer hole 13 is defined so as to penetrate through thehousing 3 along the height direction and communicate with theterminal chambers 7 through thecommunication holes 9. Thecommunication holes 9 are communicated with each other on the undersides ofterminal chambers 7, along the width direction of thehosing 3. In assembling, thespacer 11 is inserted into thespacer insertion hole 13 through a lower opening formed on the underside of thehousing 3. - The
spacer 11 is made from insulating material, such as synthetic resin, and also provided with two kinds oflarge lattices 25 andsmall lattices 27 for allowing an insertion of theterminals 5. On the upside and downside of eachlarge lattice 25, anupper engagement protrusion 25 a and alower engagement protrusion 25 b are formed to be respectively engageable with thesecond engagement protrusion 23 of theterminal 5 on condition that thespacer 11 is arranged in a formal engagement position established in thehousing 3. Similarly, on the upside and downside of eachsmall lattice 27, anupper engagement protrusion 27 a and alower engagement protrusion 27 b are formed to be respectively engageable with thesecond engagement protrusion 23 of theterminal 5 on condition that thespacer 11 is arranged in the formal engagement position established in thehousing 3. - In advance of the
terminals 5 in theterminal chambers 7 of thehousing 3, thespacer 11 is inserted into thespacer insertion hole 13 and then maintained in a temporary engagement position. Under condition that thespacer 11 occupies the temporary engagement position, theterminals 5 are accommodated in theterminal chambers 5. Subsequently, by shifting thespacer 11 from the temporary engagement position to the formal engagement position where thespacer 11 is completely inserted into thespacer insertion hole 13, theterminals 5 can be doubly-engaged with theengagement arms 19 and thespacer 11. - In the temporary engagement position of the
spacer 11, theupper engagement protrusions lower engagement protrusions spacer insertion hole 13 completely. Thus, on the underside of eachterminal chamber 7, a depression is defined about thecorresponding communication hole 9 due to this incomplete insertion of the spacer 11 (seeFIG. 4 ). Under such a situation, if theterminal 5 is inserted into theterminal chamber 7 obliquely, there is a possibility that a front end of theterminal 5 collides with a downstream-side edge of thecommunication hole 9 in the inserting direction of theterminal 5 conventionally. Therefore, theguide protrusion 15 is provided on the upstream side of thecommunication hole 9 in the inserting direction of theterminal 5 in order to avoid such a collision. - A protruding height of the
guide protrusion 15 is established to be substantially equal to or somewhat higher than the height of the downstream-side edge of thecommunication hole 9 in the inserting direction of theterminal 5. - When the
terminal 5 is inserted into theterminal chamber 7, theguide protrusion 15 operates to lead the front end of theterminal 5 upward of the downstream-side edge of thecommunication hole 9 in the inserting direction of theterminal 5. Therefore, even if theterminal 5 is inserted into theterminal chamber 7 extremely obliquely, the inclination of theterminal 5 would be suppressed by theguide protrusion 15, enabling an avoidance of theterminal 5 from a collision with the downstream-side edge of thecommunication hole 9. - The
guide protrusion 15 is provided, on the upstream side in the inserting direction of theterminal 5, with theinclined surface 17 having a rising gradient. Theinclined surface 17 leads theterminal 5 toward a summit of theguide protrusion 15 when theterminal 5 is inserted into theterminal chamber 7. Thus, even if theterminal 5 is inserted into theterminal chamber 7 obliquely, it is possible to correct the inclination of theterminal 5. - In this way, as the
connector 1 has the guide protrusions 15 formed on the upstream side of the communication holes 9 in the inserting direction to lead the insertedterminals 5 to the upside of the downstream-side edges of the communication holes 9, it is possible to lead the insertedterminals 5 to the upside of the downstream-side edges of the communication holes 9 despite that theterminals 5 are inserted into theterminal chambers 7 obliquely. - That is, in the
connector 1 constructed above, owing to theprotrusions 15, it is possible to prevent theterminals 5 from colliding with the opening edges of the communication holes 9. - Additionally, since the
guide protrusions 15 are provided, on the upstream side in the inserting direction of theterminals 5, with theinclined surfaces 17 each having a rising gradient, it is possible to lead theterminals 5, which have been inserted into theterminal chambers 7, toward respective summits of theguide protrusions 15 and also possible to lead theterminals 5 to the upside of the downstream-side edges of the communication holes 9 stably. - Finally, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing descriptions are nothing but an embodiment of the disclosed connector and therefore, various changes and modifications may be made within the scope of claims. For example, although each of the guide protrusions 15 is triangular-shaped in the longitudinal cross section of the illustrated
connector 1, the guide protrusion and the inclined surface may be provided with any other profiles, for example, a semicircular-shaped guide protrusion, a round-shaped inclined surface and so on.
